We showed not only Tulane, but the entire city of New Orleans, that we care about its future.<br />

For those who aren't aware of sea-level rise and how it affects New Orleans, imagine Tulane's beautiful, newly-built Yulman Stadium and how much time and money was put into constructing it. Well, southeast Louisiana loses over one Yulman Stadium's worth of land every 15 minutes. Thats right, it takes only 15 minutes to destroy an amount of land equivalent to something that took 20 months and millions of dollars to build. If action isn't taken soon, there may not be a French Quarter to march through again!</div>

On October 25th, 2014, nearly 100 students, led by Lagniappe Brass Band, marched in solidarity through downtown New Orleans raising awareness about coastal sea-level rise. Even better, members of the Louisiana community, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/goCaptainPlanet" target="_blank">Captain Planet</a>, joined us as well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We danced, we paraded, and most importantly, we cared!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Our afternoon ended with a speeches from former Tulane Student Robert Sullivan and Lousiana Bucket Brigades founder Anne Rolfes, and a discussion about why us students care about the environment. It was an all around amazing and meaningful time. We couldn't have done it without all of you!</div>

Though it has been a while since our last blog post, that doesn't mean we haven't been doing some awesome activities and events these past weeks!<br />

<br />
No Impact Week was a week filled with Green Club activities, including baking vegan cookies and a big BOSS party. Below are a few pictures with highlights from the week.<br />

It is a chance for you to see what a difference no-impact living can have on your quality of life. It's not about giving up creature comforts but an opportunity for you to test whether the modern "conveniences" you take for granted are actually making you happier or just eating away at your time and money. Join us in a week of challenging ourselves to limit our impacts and a week of awesome events!</span></div>

Last Tuesday, we started off the semester with an open planning meeting where we got tons of awesome feedback on what people are looking forward to and opportunities for growth. On Thursday, we travelled to A Studio in the Woods, an artists' residency facility within an endangered forest preserve. We learned about Sebastian Muellauer and his experiences working on Open Buoy, an open source vessel that he hopes to use in a variety of applications to further research efforts in Southern Louisiana. We also met some cool people from around the area and had delicious food.<br />

This past Tuesday, we had a meeting where we discussed upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. A representative from 350 Louisiana came in to tell us about how to get involved with her organization as well. Our green theme of the week is to <b>reduce packaging</b>, which is especially easy with the new reusable container system at Bruff-to-Go. Make sure to check out the containers and the machines if you haven't been yet!<br />
<br />
Get excited for the rest of the semester but especially the next few days! On <i>Friday</i>, check out our table at the activities expo in the LBC. On <i>Saturday</i>, join us for a Potluck, which we will be hosting with Hope Gardens. On <i>Sunday</i>, be sure to stop by the Green Wave Market at the Hillel from 12-2pm for delicious food, sustainable products, and good vibes.<br />
<br />
Make sure to mark your calendars next month for Recyclemania and a debate later in the semester!Tulane Green Clubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13809477017781996471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491780749450019083.post-87576192332218793292013-11-20T23:00:00.000-06:002013-11-20T23:00:45.114-06:00Clothing Swap Recap!This week we have two posts from some fellow Green Clubbers to hear their takes on the clothing swap a few weeks ago!

<br />
With Black Friday on the horizon, it’s easy to get caught up in the consumerism of the season. Sales on everything you knew or didn’t know you wanted or needed, from half-price electronics to life-size teddy bears. As fun as gifting, flying home, and making tons of food can be, we often forget that all these goodies take a hefty toll not just on our bank accounts but on the environment, too. So when I heard about Green Club’s clothing swap I was eager to participate, as it’s a great way to get more things but with less of an impact.<br />
<br />
Students from all over campus brought clothes to Pocket Park last Friday, and a half a dozen or so volunteers – myself included – took up the task of turning a mountain of motley bags into a presentable display. Within an hour, the articles of clothing were sorted by type, and students peaked in before opening to see what was in store.
The swap was organized as a one-for-one, meaning that for a clothing item or a dollar you could take one item – anything from a sequined crop-top to a blazer – in exchange. By the official start of the event the place was buzzing with students (and even staff!) ransacking the piles for hidden gems.<br />
<br />
Everyone who came walked away with an exciting find, showing that one man’s trash really can be another man’s treasure.
But what’s the best part? All of the leftover clothing was donated to those in need in New Orleans, and all of our “new” clothes were simply up-cycled and, true to our cause, 100% green.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> I had never been to a clothing swap before and I was anxious to go to the Green Club’s one because it seemed like a cool idea. I didn’t realize that I had conjured any expectations of it until they were immediately proven wrong when I arrived to Pocket Park Friday afternoon – the setting of the swap. I was expecting a table – yes, just one – with a giant pile of clothes all jumbled and tossed around. I imagined a few members of the green club monitoring this table with a few other members of the green club sifting through the hodgepodge of clothing in effort to find something they could wear for a situation such as Halloween or Mardi Gras. So after school on Friday I scrutinize my clothes that I brought with me to Tulane and grab four t-shirts to bring to the swap. Upon arrival I was stunned by the size and effectiveness of the swap. There was a table at the entrance where you could bring your own clothes to earn credits. Each piece of clothing was one credit and shoes were two. Then there were various tables and racks with sorted out clothing, pre-organized for swappers, including, tank tops, t-shirts, casual and fancy shirts, dresses, rompers, shorts, pants, ect. Some of these were even divided by gender – for example men’s pants and woman’s pants. I was really impressed; also at the amount of people that were present. There were constantly people at each table finding stuff they liked and asking their friends for their advice. I found a cute winter dress, a pink tank top, and two pairs of shorts – one of which was Brandy Melville! Once I was ready I made my way to the check out table to mark off my credits and to show off the gems I found.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> I imagine it would be very difficult to leave that clothing swap disappointed. Mostly because of how happy I left the swap myself but also from seeing how excited people were, running up to their friends and showing them something they found. Now, a few weeks subsequent, I can’t even count the amount of people that have come up to me asking me when the next clothing swap is. Either they went to it, were just as blown away as I was, and can’t wait for the next one or they heard from a friend how awesome it was, are heartbroken they missed out, and want to make sure they make it to the next one. Either way, all those people and myself are waiting and excited for the next one.</span></div>

This weekend we sent 17 green clubbers to <a href="http://www.wearepowershift.org">Powershift</a>, a nation environmental convergence in Pittsburgh, where they attended workshops, listened to speakers, and met other students from around the nation. Speakers ranged from 12-year old activist and songwriter Takaiya Blaney to entrepreneur and environmentalist Tom Steyer. With an overwhelming choice of topics and discussions each day we split up and headed towards the issues that interested each one of us the most. We heard stories from Coal Country, learned economic alternatives to capitalism, talked about permaculture, and strategized about divestment.
<br /><br />
One of the coolest things we learned this weekend was about the intersectionality of the environmental movement. Whether you’re more interested in issues of race, class, sexuality, or overall social justice, it all relates to climate change. All of these issues interact on multiple levels and it was fascinating to hear how students and leaders are working across the nation to create clever, multi-dimensional solutions to the existing problems.
<br /><br />
National leaders and innovators such as Michael Brune of the <i>Sierra Club</i> and Bill McKibben of <i>350.org</i> called upon us, the youth, to take action and make our voices heard. Over 6,000 students came together this weekend and stood in solidarity, vowing to take a stance against climate change and even if you couldn’t make it, the power is still in your hands. Get involved, join us! We’re always open to suggestions and now that we’re back on campus we’re excited and itching to take action. If we learned one thing from this weekend it’s that this is OUR movement and we’re ready to fight.

Not only did we succeed in getting the fact that tar sands threaten New Orleans out to tons of French Quarter bystanders, we had over 200 people participating in our action!<br /><br />We rocked out with Lagniappe Brass Band in true New Orleans fashion, putting our own unique stamp on the incredible action going on all over the country. Who knew rallying could be so much fun? Our journey ended at St. Mark's United Methodist Church where speakers addressed the crowd- Bishop Shelton Fabre, Scott Eustis of the Gulf Restoration Network, Cherri Foytlin a Gulf Coast activist, and Anne Rolfes of the LA Bucket Brigade all gave us a different spin on why standing up against tar sands is standing up for our city!<br /><br />Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this event such a success- and keep the momentum going! We have two other awesome sides of environmentalism to check out this week- a NOAA fisheries hearing on Tuesday and marsh grass planting on Saturday, we hope to see all your smiling faces soon!<br /><br /><img border="0" src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzNzk5MTE*Mjk4ODImcHQ9MTM3OTkxMTQ*MzAzMSZwPTQwODY1MSZkPSZnPTEmbz*zY2JjNDljNmZhNzk*YzJmOWY3/YTJiM2MxYWFhNWZmNA==.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

<br />
We are excited to report on all of the exciting activities that have taken place in the last few weeks. We began the year with our first meeting with over 100 attendees! We discussed the history of Green Club, our role here on campus and introduced the following action groups: BOSS (Back to Old School Sustainability), Composting, Ninja Task Force, Recycled Paper, Take Back the Tap, Reusable Containers. Make sure to contact us if you are interested in joining one of these groups!<br />

This past Saturday, Green Club headed over to TREE (Teaching Responsible Earth Education), which is a camp for local youth to learn more about the environment. Though the camp was not in session during our visit, we helped clear trails, general cleaning and even arts & crafts!<br />

This Tuesday, we had a screening of the documentary Dirty Energy, directed by Bryan Hopkins. We had 45 people show up and were lucky to welcome the director himself to share some insight on the making of the film and Raleigh Hoke, the communications director of Gulf Restoration Network, to provide some context to film, which centered around the aftermath of the BP oil spill in 2010.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We hope to see everyone at our next meeting Tuesday, Sept 17 in Boggs 104 at 7:30 PM. If you cannot wait until then, we will have a hike this Saturday in Black Creek, Mississippi. We will also be attending 350 NOLA's first meeting at the Bayou Beer Garden on Sunday, Sept 15. Shoot us an email for more details!<br />

By Anne Bevis<br />
<br />
Hello All!<br />
<br />
This will be my first post of the year as Green Club president. I want to lay out some of my goals for the year as well as my hopes/ dreams/ sensual green club fantasies. We have some absolutely AWSOME stuff going on this year starting with our second line for sustainability (date to be announced), the Powershift conference in October, several bayou marsh grass plantings (Clare, Alex and I just did one, it was a lot of sweaty fun), our fabulous bi-weekly meetings and much more!<br />
<br />
This year we plan to work with a wide range or organizations: Bike Easy, Gulf resoration Network, the Juggling club, the Green Project, YLC, Unity, Verdigras, Sierra Club, Green Light New Orleans and many others.<br />
<br />
Some on campus goals that I have:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Get Bruff-to-go to start a pilot re-usable container program. Watching all that plastic get thrown away makes me cringe.</li>
<li>Get Green Club involved with YLC wednesdays where we would serve as walking recycling cans while listening to great music and hanging with some awesome people!</li>
<li>Host another debate with the poly-sci department. Last year we hosted a nuclear power debate which was a huge success. This year we're thinking fracking as the topic of choice.</li>
<li>Go on more outdoors adventures/ camping trips!</li>
<li>Canvass for music festivals AKA spread environmental awareness and get into concerts for free</li>
<li>Screen some award-winning environmental documentaries in partnership with TUCP </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm excited to inherit some great Green Club traditions such as the Semesterly clothing swap which has saved literally hundreds of tons of water by avoiding new purchases (as well as keeping all our wallets much fatter!) as well as the Crawfest vegetarian boil and delicious corn bread where we are the only vegetarian option present. I'm also excited for our members- new and returning-that make green club so great! We have a passionate, quirky, awesome group that has caused some real change on campus as well as in this great city!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I really want to know is what do YOU want to see this year?!</div>

The State Department is in its final steps of assessing the environmental
impact of the proposed 36-inch wide, 1,179-mile long Keystone XL pipeline. The
project would bring tar sands oil from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico for sale
abroad. The pipeline has been wrought with controversy from the start, but new
developments have turned up the heated debate. Amid criticism <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/23/us/politics/state-department-criticized-by-epa-on-pipeline-report.html?_r=0"><span style="color: navy;">from
the EPA,</span></a> claims of <a href="http://keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov/documents/organization/205719.pdf"><span style="color: navy;">merely

in the existing southern section of the pipeline, opponents of Keystone XL can
now add conflict of interests to the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>growing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>list of reasons to reject
the proposed project.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in;">

Friends of the Earth along with The Checks & Balances Project recently
discovered that Environmental Resources Management (ERM), the company that
wrote the bulk of the State Department's environmental review of the project, <a href="http://www.foe.org/news/news-releases/2013-07-conflict-of-interest-state-dept-kxl-contractor-lied-on-oil-ties"><span style="color: navy;">lied
on their conflict of interest form</span></a> filed with the State Department. FOE and
the CBP compiled a <a href="http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/3f/a/3046/ERM_Backgrounder.pdf"><span style="color: navy;">dossier</span></a>
of publicly available documents showing the very clear conflict of interest and
deliberate lack of disclosure by ERM. <o:p></o:p></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in;">
In
their <a href="http://keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov/documents/organization/205729.pdf"><span style="color: navy;">papers
to the federal agency</span></a>, ERM assured the State Department that “ERM has no
business relationship with TransCanada or its affiliates”, when in fact the two
have been working together since at least 2011 on a pipeline in Alaska. In
addition ERM claimed to have no relationship with businesses that would be
affected by the pipeline. FOD and the CBP's report discovered that ERM has done
business with over a dozen companies with stakes in Alberta's tar sands that
are fit to benefit if the pipeline is built. <o:p></o:p></div>

Last
Friday a coalition of environmental groups, including 350.org and <a href="http://www.2013walkforourgrandchildren.org/"><span style="color: navy;">Walk for Our Grandchildren</span></a>
to orchestrate a day of civil disobedience to protest this corruption of
transparent environmental review. Over 100 people gathered at the office
building that houses ERM. 54 people entered the lobby and refused to leave when
the police asked them to do so. Six of them chained themselves to one another
with a black tube connecting their arms that read “NO KXL.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in;">
I
personally partook in this day of action but was not one of the 54 who got
received court dates. With our friends in the lobby waiting for the next of six
police wagons to pull up, about 70 more of us were outside showing our support
for them and denouncing the lies of ERM. Many people who were intrigued by the
commotion stopped to listen to what we were upset about. Every person that gave
me the chance to fully describe the bias of ERM agreed that it is inappropriate
for the State Department to accept their report on the pipeline. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in;">
<u>CALLING
ON THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO SCRAP THE REPORT</u><o:p></o:p></div>

It
does not take extensive knowledge on the subject to understand that ERM is not
the proper firm to assess the environmental impact of the Keystone XL project.
Because of this clear breach of trust to conduct an objective study, a group of
30 organizations wrote an <a href="http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/64/f/3102/ERM_Sign_On_Letter_Final.pdf"><span style="color: navy;">open
letter to Secretary John Kerry</span></a> asking him to restart the environmental
review of the project, to punish ERM for lying on federal forms, and to
initiate an investigation into why the department failed to notice these clear
conflicts of interest. <br />
<br />
It seems possible that if FOE and the CBP did not catch this conflict of
interest, it would have gone unnoticed. It is troubling to consider that this
is likely just one of the many instances where the fossil fuel industry is secretly
gaming the system to their advantage to the detriment of the climate. <br />

</u>Last month President Obama unfurled his long-awaited <a href="http://www.citizenvox.org/2013/07/09/obamas-support-of-fracking-undermines-his-goal-of-reducing-greenhouse-gases/"><span style="color: navy;">climate
change plan</span></a>. In it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkQAX5xC8b8"><span style="color: navy;">he
stated</span></a> that he would only approve the Keystone XL pipeline “only if this
project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.” Bringing
the decision down to greenhouse gases was a big step. <o:p></o:p></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
In a shift in tone Obama <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/28/us/politics/obama-says-hell-evaluate-pipeline-project-depending-on-pollution.html"><span style="color: navy;">told
the New York Times</span></a> last week that the number of jobs from the pipeline
would be just “a blip relative to the need,” invalidating <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/30/obama-low-ball-keystone-fact-check/"><span style="color: navy;">claims
from Republicans</span></a> that the project would bring thousands of jobs He cited <a href="http://keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov/documents/organization/205719.pdf"><span style="color: navy;">estimates
from the State Department</span></a> that the tar sands project would only create 50
to 100 permanent jobs once the project is completed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
And then in a speech in Chattanooga, TN, Obama <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G6dYEryyYk"><span style="color: navy;">mocked</span></a> the claims again.
“They keep on talking about this oil pipeline coming down from Canada that’s
estimated to create about 50 permanent jobs. That’s not a jobs plan,” he said with
a smirk, seeming to stifle a chuckle. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p></o:p> </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
One year ago even the most optimistic environmental
activists had to admit that the future looked bleak on the Keystone XL issue.
To hear the president speak in this new way about the project is leaps and
bounds ahead from where we were. Much of this progress should be accredited to
the activists out in the streets, organizing rallies, writing letters, and
spreading the word about this corrupt process. The public debate on the
pipeline for the past few years has reeked of oil money. But that is changing thanks
to the people who know that democracy is for them, not the corporations. <o:p></o:p></div>

It has been a wonderful year indeed. We organized four events that garnered over 100 attendees, we made the trek to DC for the largest climate rally in the history of the US, we made Tulane a little bit greener, and we helped out with the local New Orleans environmental community, among tons of other stuff.<br />
<br />
We are proud to present the new Executive Board of Tulane Green Club (rockin' the brand new Tulane Green Club zip-ups we got that are 100% recycled materials!)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">On April 18th Tulane Green Club teamed up with the Sierra Club to host a night of informative talks and discussions about the fate of New Orleans as a result of sea level rise. NOLA specifically has a grave future in store. Not only is global sea level rise increasing at an alarming rate, but Louisiana has well-documented high rates of land subsidence which is soil compacting and sinking. </span></div>

Over 120 people attended!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">The high rates of subsidence we're seeing is a result of our management of the Mississippi River. It used to flood its banks and deposit sediment all over the delta, adding land to the area. Now with the levees we've built to protect people from flooding, the delta is starved of that sediment so the subsidence that has always occurred now outpaces the rate of sediment deposition. </span></div>

We invited in Tim Osborn, pictured above and below, to speak about the rates of local sea level rise. Tim is a scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Louisiana is projected to see between 4.3 - 8 ft of local sea level rise, the worst projections in the entire world. This is a result global sea level rise being exacerbated by local land subsidence. </div>

Lastly Sierra Club organizers Jordan Macha and Devin Martin closed out the evening talking about what we can do as citizens to protect New Orleans from becoming the New Atlantis. We passed out paper to hand-write letters to Obama. We will be sending the President 87 letters from this night asking him to take measures to curb climate change. </div>

Last Saturday we volunteered with <a href="http://www.bikeeasy.org/" target="_blank">Bike Easy</a> to help them run their free bike valet program at Freret St. Festival. Simone, one of the Green Clubbers who came out, wrote a blog post about the volunteering.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I volunteered today for bike easy bike valet at the Freret St. Festival. This was my first time volunteering for the organization although it was not my first encounter with them. During the Blues & BBQ festival fall 2012 I parked my bike with them because I worked the festival with La Divina. It was a great service for me because I didn't have to worry about my bicycle being taken in the crowded festival. Volunteering was an equally good experience because I felt the appreciation and support from members of the community who prefer to bike but are worried about the high rate of bike theft in New Orleans. The staff were friendly and helpful and volunteering was not stressful at all. Additionally, a band was positioned near our tent so I got to listen to great music and take a break to grab some awesome fish tacos! I would definitely volunteer with this organization again.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tulane course registration time is here. Here's a few classes with the environment in mind. These reviews are written by Suzannah and Erik, both Green Club member. The ratings are out of 4. If you have some more classes you'd like to write a review for, send us an email at TUgreenclub@gmail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>EVST 1010 Intro to Environmental Studies, Meredith Dudley, Rating of 3</b>: This was a solid introductory class that focused mainly on issues in Louisiana, which I thought was useful. We were also given the opportunity to put together a final project with a topic of our choosing. Pretty easy course.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>EBIO 2050 Global Change Biology, Michael Blum, Rating of 2</b>: This is a challenging class. The average of the first exam was a D and he blamed the students, not himself.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>EENS 1300/1310 Environmental Science and Lab, Jeff Sigler, Rating of 4</b>: Sigler is adorably self-deprecating and knowledgeable. This is a solid overview of all major environmental systems and concerns. An easy class if you do the work.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>COMM 3510 Environmental Communication, I think the professor died :/, Rating of 2</b>: This was a very dry course with interesting though basic material. Perhaps now there's a new professor who can liven it up a bit.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>PHILL 3340 Humanity's Place in Nature</b>, <b>Keith Silverman, Rating of 4</b>: This was one of my favorite classes at Tulane. It isn't so much focused on environmental issues as it is love (???), but Silverman is great. The course is easy provided you try just a bit.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>SRVC 4890 Green Seminar, Adam Beebe, Rating of 3</b>: This is connected to the service learning internship course. It had great readings on environmental principles that you won't find in other courses. Very easy and great conversations.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>EBIO 2010 Evolution of Health and Human Disease, David Heins, Rating of 3</b>: Fascinating class that could be tricky for enviro students because of the heavy human health information. It's doable and definitely worthwhile. The topics will interest anyone who's into public health.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>EENS 2230 Oceanography</b>, <b>Brad Rosenheim, Rating of 1</b>: One of the most difficult classes in my academic experience. It was unexpectedly tricky, and requires a lot of studying.</span></div>
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Editor's note: Oceanography was one of my favorite classes at Tulane. I would rate it a 4 and found Rosenheim to be one of the most passionate profs I've had. -Nick)</span></u></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>EENS 3720 Infrastructure of Sustainable Urban Environments, Jeff Sigler, Rating of 4</b>: Again, Sigler is great and reasonable. The information is really fascinating and relevant for future career choices.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Theory and Methods of EEB--Dr. Henry: 3/5.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This class is now required for all environmental biology students as well as EEB kids. Its basically a paper-centered class, in which we read 4 published papers by Tulane faculty and analyzed them to learn about the scientific method as it is actually practiced. It has some interesting topics and Dr. Henry is great (though Derryberry taught it this semester); however I was frustrated by the type of work we had to do. Its low on lectures and high on group-work, specifically work that often felt like high school style busy work. In fact, "group work" is the best concise summary of the class.<br /><b>Marine Biology--Dr. Caruso: 4/5</b><br />Environmentally-minded folks might want to take this class because the marine environment is so different from the terrestrial one. A good understanding of the nature of marine environmental issues requires an understanding of the unique features of marine organisms, food chains and habitats. If you like interesting lectures and can handle a lot of memorization, you should do fine. Note: Caruso could easily have called this class "Animals I have Eaten," as you'll see once you meet him.<br /><b>Processes of Evolution--Drs. Heins and Sherry: 4/5</b><br />This class is hard. Like, really hard. But its required for ENVB and EEB, so suck it up and enjoy it, because it is also the most fascinating course I have ever taken here. Though the amount of detail covered is probably excruciating for most people and the tests are really hard, if you are interested in evolution you will get a lot out of it. The main bummer in my opinion is the mandatory recitation, which fills a large chunk of time with busy work. The secret of the class : everything they taught you about evolution in high school is wrong or grossly over-simplified.<br /><b>Note:</b> I have to agree with Nick that I loved Rosenheim (Brosenheim?) and thought oceanography was fascinating and rewarding.<br /><b>Note:</b> I went to a lecture by Keith Silverman and realized that he does not believe in the Darwinian Theory of Evolution. This was kind of a bummer. While I'm sure he has many interesting and valid things to say, his arguments against evolution were circular and sort of pissed me off, and I'm not sure I would be able to "open my mind" enough to take a class with hi</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">m. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> New data about climate change and subsidence in Southeast Louisiana don't bode well for the future of our city. Can New Orleans survive rising seas, sinking soils, and more intense storms over the course of this century? Join NOAA scientist Tim Osborn, Tulane ecologist Bruce Fleury, and Jordan Macha and Devin Martin from the Sierra Club as we discuss the state of the science and what can be done to prevent New Orleans from becoming the New Atlantis.</span></div>

Earth Fest is a fun way for Audubon Zoo goers, both old and young, to learn about current environmental issues and solutions. We worked at the Sierra Club's booth and children approached us to receive a stamp for their green-themed scavenger hunt. They had to answer this question: What makes oysters, crawfish, and seafood inedible? We received some silly and adorable answers like vinegar and salt, but even most young New Orleans children were quick to think of oil (the answer we were looking for is more of an umbrella term, hint: it starts with a p and rhymes with shmollution). With older kids we talked about the changes Louisiana can expect to see with rising sea level which sparked some powerful discussion about our region's future. Overall it was a really rewarding day, and getting to walk around the zoo for free in the beautiful spring weather wasn't too shabby either.<br />

<br />
Saddly, we have to cancel the Nature Walk scheduled today. But don't worry, you can come by for the picnic tomorrow! We are meeting at the bell at 3, BYO-lunch, puppy, frisbie, friends, etc.<br />
<br />
For Saturday, we are adding another volunteer/hang out option. The zoo is hosting Earth Fest and we have the chance to volunteer with Sierra Club there. If you're interested check out the facebook page. Also the fest will be super fun and everyone is welcome to just come and hang out at the zoo!<br />
<br />
Home everyone is doing good with your lists!<br />

This Sunday is the kick-off of Green Club's <strong>Annual No Impact Week</strong>! Based off of the movie No Impact Man, No Impact Week is a week-long
environmental challenge with the a goal of having as small of a carbon
footprint as possible. Its the time to go extreme and in the end hopefully
you'll learn that a few changes in your daily routine have no impact on your
quality of life, but a huge one on the quality of the environment. To make this already sweet week even better, we're hosting an event nearly everyday!<br />
They are: <br />

Coast Facing Grim Reality</a>," an article highlighting new data that shows Louisiana's coast is far worse from sea level rise than we had originally thought. The low estimates are now 4.3 ft by the year 2100. That means the projection in this image are no longer even within the <i>optimistic</i> end.<br />

In response to this article, I wrote a letter to the editor addressing the proposed Ram LLC coal export terminal to be built in Plaquemines Parish on the exact same site as a river diversion project to rebuild the coast. Here is the letter and <a href="http://theadvocate.com/news/neworleans/5346648-148/letter-ram-coal-project-a" target="_blank">a link to the Advocate's page</a><br />

The article “La. coast facing grim reality” republished in The Advocate highlights new data that shows that Louisiana is likely to see “the highest rate of relative sea-level rise on the planet.”</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.05em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tim Osborn, the expert quoted in the article, mentioned at Tulane’s Environmental Law Summit recently that the estimates range from 4.3 to 9.5 feet by the end of the century. Given Southeast Louisiana’s average elevation of only 3 feet, we have a lot at stake.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.05em; vertical-align: baseline;">
As of yet, we have consistently met, if not exceeded, climate scientists’ worst-case projections for sea-level rise. Louisiana must take serious action to not only adapt to rising seas from climate change, but also to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions wherever possible.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.05em; vertical-align: baseline;">
One obvious way to reduce our state’s contribution to our own destruction is for the state to reject the proposed Ram LLC coal export terminal to be built near Myrtle Grove in Plaquemines Parish. This new terminal would allow more carbon-intensive coal to be burned and its greenhouse gases to add to sea-level rise affecting Louisianans.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.05em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Even worse, it is sited on the exact spot that the state has determined is best for a river diversion project that could help rebuild coastal wetlands southeast of New Orleans. The state government is implementing its master plan for a sustainable coast to help protect us from rising seas and hurricanes.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.05em; vertical-align: baseline;">
The state government has the authority to reject the Ram coal terminal. Louisiana residents will be displaced with these rising seas, but we have the power to minimize the amount of people affected.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.05em; vertical-align: baseline;">
To put its own restoration plan at risk and flirt with dirty coal terminals at the expense of Louisianians is not only unwise, it is reckless.</div>

Becoming well informed can build up an appetite, so in classic Green Club style we hosted a potluck dinner. <br />
